Here I am again, to once more apologise for my absence and make promises that I probably will not fulfil! I've been experiencing some writer's block, and working on various projects (I won a short story competition which was cool!), and I've also recently started trying to iron out some issues with Golden Words. (Primarily that when writing about a marginalised group, in this instance the neurologically disabled, in times that have particularly discriminated against them, there can be a fine line between portraying that truthfully and ending up propagating the mindset you're trying to defeat.) These issues having been (mostly) sorted out by now, I'm going to try to upload more consistently- at least once a fortnight. I'm honestly quite excited to finish editing and uploading this story, and I hope that you're looking forward to it as much as I am!

I finally published the first chapter of Golden Words! It's not perfect, but I worked hard on it, and I hope you like it.

Hi. Hello. Yes.
          Long time fans and followers (that was a joke, for clarification- I currently have exactly 12 followers and exactly no fans) of this account may have noticed that I haven't posted anything in Twelve Kajillion Years (Ah yes, remember those days, back when dinosaurs walked the earth and I was uploading Hearts of Gold?). Or, to be more accurate, I have begun to publish 2 stories, and then felt insecure and unpublished them again because they weren't as polished as I wanted them to be. So I have been in a hiatus of sorts. But- I have a thing! Granted, it's not finished yet, but it should be ready to start uploading in a few weeks (I tend to revise and polish a bit as I go, so I like to have the first draft down first). I have decided that it will be in a series with Hearts of Gold, sort of (the only way to determine which of my stories are part of this series is if it has 2 main characters, one of whom is an about-eleven-years-old autistic girl, and there will be some tenuous link to the pervading theme of Gold. I wanted to explore what it would be like to be autistic in different periods throughout history, so I thought Why Not Make It A Series!) That was really long. I don't blame you if you stopped reading it. The point is: Golden Words should be ready to publish in a couple weeks (hopefully), so, you know, look out for that.
          Okay, thank you.

I just got my ASD diagnosis! I've been wanting this for a year so this is very exciting for me!

Hi. I had the intention of uploading this thing that I was working on for school, but I decided that I won't because it is bad and I have given up on it. I will now email it to my teacher. Here are the final few lines of it for your amusement, if you get amused by this sort of thing:
          "Petra is ashamed, and miserable.
          She had such high hopes, for herself, and for her story.
          But things didn’t go to plan.
          I guess there really was no plan for them to go to.
          That’s the problem: poor planning and terrible character design.
          To say that the characters are so much as one-dimensional is a stretch!
          There is no dimension. The only notable characteristic of any of them is Petra's apathy, and that's just an author insert!
          The planning was awful. No layout, no thought.
          Petra sighs.
          She gives up on her story.
          And the world implodes."
          There. Nice and not-morbid, isn't it?
          Moral of the story: PIXIE DO YOUR DAMN PLANNNING. I HATE IT BUT IT'S NECESSARY!
          I don't know why any of you need to know this... maybe this is just letting you know I'm alive (though I'm probably barely on your radar).
          I'm hungry. I want chocolate.
          Kthxbye

Hey! I just wanted to apologise in advance if I update kind of irregularly. I'm not doing too great mentally at the moment, so writing is difficult. I'm trying to post a new chapter of Hearts of Gold every week but sometimes I can't quite manage it. I just wanted to explain.
